Hey, FRiend...I don’t mean to come across as argumentative or as a contrarian. I just do not trust the communists currently in power and I am suspicious of anything they do that empowers Statism.
I know where you’re coming from and don’t dispute that it would be good to cut costs wherever possible, especially through automation. The digitization of our financial transactions just doesn’t sit well with me. That’s all.
I can see being skeptical about or even hostile to some 'digital economy' measures. I just don't see getting rid of government-issued paper checks (which get processed through the electronic banking system anyway) in favor of electronic funds transfer as one of them.
